Fan Theory Determines the Truth About Jon Snow's Mom (Spoilers!)

Remember Game of Thrones? If you do, you might remember a character named "Jon Snow."

He's mopey all the time, mostly because he's a bastard - he was conceived out of wedlock, and therefore cannot have his father's surname, Stark. Although NOT having Stark as your last name is usually a good thing, mortality-wise.

Since forever, Jon Snow's wanted to know more about his mother. Who is she? What about her got Ned to break his marital vows? WHY DOESN'T SHE LOVE ME? That kinda thing.

There's a few candidates we can eliminate right away:

Catelyn Stark (wouldn't be a bastard, she wouldn't hate him so much)

Arya Stark (born after Jon Snow, so it would require the existence of time travel...which we really can't DISconfirm actually)

Tyrion Lannister (is a guy)

Samwell (still a virgin)
